Janeane Garofalo

We previewed this show at the Soho Theatre earlier in the week: read up with that article beforehand and maybe avoid the problem a commenter had, who found Garofalo's Edinburgh gig "too narcissistic, too preachy, too feminist". We can't help feeling that expecting Janeane Garofalo to not be feminist is like expecting Tim Vine to tell long, intricate stories; forewarned is forearmed. 25-27 August, 8pm, £20, with support from Dave Hill.

Matt Okine

At the time of writing, Matt Okine is nominated for the Best Newcomer Award in Edinburgh; he's already won two awards in Australia so don't bet against him. Catch this show at the Soho Theatre from 28 August until 7 September, 9.15pm, £10-£15.

Piccadilly Comedy Club

The fantastic Paul Sinha headlines (see the video below) on 30 and 31 August, with support from Mike Belgrave and Mike Manera at this club at the aptly named Comedy pub. 8pm, £10 / £12.50.

Adam Buxton

Book now to see Dr Buckles's new show Kernel Panic, branching out a bit from the YouTube focus of Bug and looking at how we present ourselves across the whole internet. It's at the Union Chapel 13-16 September but Saturday is already sold out. 7.45pm, £20 / £18.
